    Glossary Bone Metabolism

    continuous process of bone breakdown and rebuilding

    Bone metabolism refers to the continuous process by which bones are broken down (resorption) and rebuilt (formation). This dynamic process involves the coordinated activity of osteoclasts, which break down bone tissue, and osteoblasts, which form new bone. Proper bone metabolism is crucial for maintaining bone strength and density, and imbalances can lead to conditions such as osteoporosis.
